It is said by experts that practical, even-tempered' men usually write a plain, round hand, in which every let ter is legible, and that more ambitious men write hastily and carelessly. Last June, Dick Crawford brought his twelve months old child, suffering from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been weaned at four months old and being sickly everything ran through it like water through a sieve. I give it the usual treatment in such cases, but with out benefit. The child kept growing thinner until it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to giving Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle of the 25 cent size had been used, a marked improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness nnd puny constitution disap peared and its father and myself believe the child's life was saved by this remedy. -T. T. Maklow, M.

' Though in this country early mar riages are less frequent than in Europe, because here the occupations of wom en are so numerous . that nearly every young woman can maintain herself respectably by earning her own living, while in Europe the same class find matrimony almost the only avenue . through which they can escape from a dependent po sition at home, says the Boston Her ald. It is none the less important to know that the marriages contracted before the parties have reached "0 are to be regretted. The reasons are that the offspring of women who are mar ried before IS inherit the imperfect physical development of their mothers and do not reach mature life with strong constitutions. The healthiest offspring are born to mothers between 20 and SO, who are united to husbands between 30 and 40, and it has been found in Europe, where early marriages are very common, that the deaths of children from weak constitutions are twice as large among the children .whose mothers were under 20 years of age as they were among the children of mothers who were over 2ft. Tie difference between America anu a rope in this matter of early marriages is chiefly due to the way in which our girls are able to reach out to self-support after they have attained a mar riageable age. Dr. Cyrus Edson, in the North Amer ican, gives important statistics to show that, although in this country the evil of early marriages is not so great as it might be, the number of brides under 20 who were married in New York city in 1S91 was 2,S39; in 1892 it was 5,0511. The number of grooms under 20 years of age in New York city for that year was 145. By far the greater number of brides are reported to have been 25 or 20 when they were married, which is a healthy showing for an American city, and New York is probably a fair evidence for the age of brides in other large towns and cities. In Hungary the girls become women at the age of in, and in that country 15 per cent, of the marriages shows the brides to be under 20 years of age, and in England 13 per cent, are under that age. In America girls are practically free to marry when they please and the in stinct of self-preservation has -guarded them well. DO AS THEIR FATHERS DID. Philadelphia Feople and Their Carious Xotion or Social Eligibility. Philadelphians well deserve their reputation for slowness. Progression is an unknown word in the Quaker city. The fashionable people scorn any innovations, as they desire to con tinue to do as their fathers did. When you look upon the number of slow and uncertain horse-car lines and the. ag gravating speed of their cable cars, says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis patch, you can weU judge the tempera ment of a people who will stand by and suffer such things. Philadelphians are perhaps the most peculiar, clan nish, unchangeable people that exist, in any city of the country. They pos sess certain traits of. character and ideas regarding sociology, which will probably be found still thriving and strong by anyone going to Philadel phia a hundred vears hence. The ef fect of the absurd idea that the eligi bility to soar in the mystic circles of fashionable Quakerdom is to be de termined by the answer to the ques tion whether he resides uptown or downtown can never be appreciated by one who is not a Philadelphian, or, at least, well acquainted with that cUy's social peculiarities. It causes people to pay twice as much rental in the downtown residence district for houses not half as good as could be gotten uptown, not to say anything of the questionable pleasure of living among saloons, groceries and shops of all kinds. Instead of dying out, as one would exiect it to do in this en lightened age, this feeling regarding the difference one's place of residence makes upon his social standing is posi tively becoming more bitter. This is one of the peculiarities that Philadel phia will retain as long as it exists. Any attempts that have been made to obliterate the dividing line have only ended in dismal failure, leaving the situation much worse than before. It seems that common sense was not dis pensed with a very free hand in Phila delphia, at le ast on this one point. THE WORLD WOBBLING. Scientists Trying to Find Out If the Earth Is Off lt Base. It may not be very generally known, writes a Washington correspondent, that observations are to be made si multaneously t Washington and at Manila, in the Philippine islands, which is almost directly opposite Wash ington on the other side of the globe, to see what is the matter with the axis of our little planet. Observations show that for some time the earth has not been revolving on that important, if imaginary, support, as she has done ! for centuries, and scientists have de cided that it is time to find out, if pos sible, what it all means. Those who have studied the subject declare that, if the variations continue, in the course of some very long and very indef inite period we shall have an arctic climate at Washington, and the lati tude of every place on the globe will be changed, and our ge ographies will be useless. An equatorial telescope has been finished and sent to Manila, and before long diligent inquiry will be made into the whys and wherefores of the peculiar performances of old Mother Earth. While one set of scientists are trying to find out about the' axis another party is endeavoring to find out why the magnetic needle varies so, as these variations of the needle . affect not only the mariner, but real estate own ers, and in large cities - where every foot is valuable this is not to be over looked. These latter observations are being' made by the geodetic and coast survey and will not be completed for several years. ew York Weekly Tribune 4iONLY The Ueatli Wutch Superstition. The little inseet popularly called the death watch or tick is a limber-boring insect which usually commences its sound late in the spring, and is no other than the call by which the male and female arc led to each other, the same as with birds during the mating season. The sound they emit is not owing to the voice of the insect but to its beating on or striking any hard substance with the shield or fore part of its head. Theprcvailing number of strokes are from seven to nine and eleven, and it is this circumstance which probably adds to the ominous character it bears among ignorant and superstitious persons.
